| first w/w washes - quin. sienna and quin. burnt orange I previously did a thin glaze of pink & phthalo blue for the shadows. Then I tried to get as much pigment on in the washes as possible. |

 Curiouser and Curiouser 10.5 x 7.5 inches/ 26 x 19 cm./ unframed $115.00 Available through my blog via paypal |
| quin. gold and some weird green [I don't remember the name, but it granulates nicely] for the grass I thought "Curiouser & Curiouser" was an appropriate title. When I was taking photos of the heifers, they were all but crawling through the fence to see what I was doing. |

| I met with the owner a few weeks ago, and have, since then, been carefully darkening Krystie. The top photo shows more of what the background is really like, and the bottom one shows [somewhat] the darkening. If I leave the painting here much longer, I will nit-pick it to ruin, so I had better get it to the owners this weekend! Thank you so much for visiting, and your comments are always welcome! |
